CryptoPartying with Lynda

The Intellectual Freedom Committee and Technology Section of the CT Library Association are teaming up again for a fall workshop on privacy. This time we're focusing on CryptoParties and Lynda. Cryptoparties are a decentralized movement with the goal of passing on knowledge about protecting oneself in the digital space. Lynda.com has gotten attention recently for their planned platform updates which would require creating a publically searchable profile.

We are offering the option of all day attendence or afternoon only attendence of the Lynda/LinkedIn Learning Panel.
